Members will be guided through contemporary ideas on leadership, career planning, negotiation, and management. They will also develop a greater understanding of themselves and their impact on others. Members will be well-equipped to overcome barriers that can exist in the workplace and hinder professional growth.

SCISA HEALTH CLUB
The Office of Health Services enthusiastically upholds the college's mission of advancing scholastic excellence and personal development through health awareness, counseling, and outside referral. A healthy student body ensures student enrollment and retention, and the Office of Health Services provides an open-door and confidential setting for medical assistance and assessment.
To improve the health of the student population, it is necessary to take action at both the individual and systemic levels. Therefore, our mission has two folds:
- Empowerment of individuals for health.
- Partnership and support to the healthcare system.
Empowering individuals for health is a fundamental precondition for improving not only personal health but also the health status of the entire student population. In line with this, the association's health mission focuses its activities on:
- Raising awareness and educating the population on health promotion, prevention of risk factors, and control of diseases of major public health importance.
- Providing clear and evidence-based information on current public health issues and priorities, using various means of communication to reach SCISANS.
- Strengthening individual capacities for better control over and improvement of their own and community health.
Partnership and support to the healthcare system are another important factor in improving the health of the student body. To this end, we:
- Identify public health issues and advocate for their solutions.
- Conduct research.
- Develop and implement projects that offer effective solutions, with the potential to be integrated into the healthcare system.
- Establish cooperation with domestic and international organizations that have similar missions and goals.
SCISA COMMUNITY POLICE
Clubs provide a great opportunity for cadets to enhance their professional development by taking on additional leadership roles, managing personnel and financial resources, and learning administrative and logistics skills. Participation in club programs can take cadets on unexpected journeys. Many cadets get involved with clubs to find and foster new friendships while pursuing their areas of interest.
VISION
The aim of this club is to develop in SCISANS the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, promote physical fitness, and stimulate youth interest in the sea, land, and air activities of the Ghana Forces. It is also our vision to enhance and preserve the quality of the learning experience for each member of our association by actively working together to provide a safe and secure environment. We recognize that effective college security is achieved by establishing a professional and trusting relationship with those whom we serve.
MISSION
The SCISA Community Police’s mission is to foster feelings of safety and personal comfort in which to learn, live, work, and grow. We will accomplish our mission by collaborating with the faculty, staff, and students at the college and by partnering with other groups and organizations in the community to provide services in a professional and courteous manner. We will ensure that all those we serve are treated with dignity and respect.
SCISA BOOK CLUB
Many people love to read, but it can be challenging to find someone to discuss the book they are reading, especially if it falls into an uncommon genre. A book club is a reading group that typically consists of several people who read and engage in discussions about books based on a specific topic or agreed-upon reading list. It is common for book clubs to select a particular book to read and discuss together.
The aim of this club is to create a home for writers and readers within the association, where they can freely engage in discussions without the worry of finding someone to talk about the books they have read or written. Additionally, the club will ensure that its members have access to books that will enrich, improve, and transform their lives.
SPEECH SCISA
Speech SCISA is here to connect, support, and inspire SCISANS, committed to empowering students through speech and debate. We envision providing speech and debate programs that involve various departments within the association, as well as other colleges and universities, to foster students' communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and skills.
The club aims to help students progress through different ranks, starting from novice, then advancing to junior varsity, and ultimately reaching varsity level. They will have opportunities to participate in larger competitions, moving from local to district, and ultimately competing in national tournaments.
Furthermore, the club will help students become more informed about political and global affairs, while also providing a venue for them to train for debate competitions with local schools or at the national level.
SCISA DRAMA CLUB
The goal of the Drama Club is to use drama to teach the student body (SCISANS) about themselves, their program of study, its implications, interacting with others, expressing their creativity, and the power of confidence. Additionally, the aim of SCISA Drama Club is to engage SCISANS through drama, raising awareness and facilitating the search for durable solutions to social, economic, and civic issues that hinder development, ultimately leading to attitudinal change. Members of the club will receive comprehensive training in development methodologies and practices.
SCISA Drama Club also seeks to provide avenues for students to showcase their talents, assist SCISANS in discovering their own talents, and offer necessary equipment, training, and counseling. We achieve this by partnering with drama companies, such as Drama Queens, Adehye Drama Club, and various drama celebrities seen on television and social media platforms.
